Hello,

I am new here to this forum and not sure where to post this urgent question, so please forgive my posting in two locations.

I owned a 1979 Spitfire for 7 years while in high school and college. I have found its long lost twin recently and am thinking about purchasing it. I live in Texas and also have a 1976 Porsche 914. Both of my little roadsters have NEVER had air. Thats 28 years of sports car motoring in Texas without air conditioning. I am not a wimp . . . but probably suffering from the effects of long term heat exhaustion! 

The 914 is primarily a track car now and rarely sees the road as a daily driver. The new Spitfire will be a daily commuter. Eight miles one way average suburban/highway traffic.

Is there a proven after market air conditioning solution for late model Spitfires?

If there is one please, please pipe up quick while the "twin" is still for sale.

This information will help "seal the deal"!

Thanks in advance for any information/help you can give me!

Hi Gary
I'm new to this form.  I think you might give the folks at Vintage Air in Fort Worth a shout.  They make AC systems for street rods.  The cabin package shouldn't be a problem but you will have to fabricate the compressor brackets on the engine.  I hope this gives you a direction to go in.  As I'm in Oklahoma I think about the cool all the time in the summer.
See Ya
